// WARNING: Thread local storage is a bit tricky to get right.  Please make
// sure that this is really the proper solution for what you're trying to
// achieve.  Don't prematurely optimize, most likely you can just use a Lock.
//
// These classes implement a wrapper around the platform's TLS storage
// mechanism.  On construction, they will allocate a TLS slot, and free the
// TLS slot on destruction.  No memory management (creation or destruction) is
// handled.  This means for uses of ThreadLocalPointer, you must correctly
// manage the memory yourself, these classes will not destroy the pointer for
// you.  There are no at-thread-exit actions taken by these classes.
//
// ThreadLocalPointer<Type> wraps a Type*.  It performs no creation or
// destruction, so memory management must be handled elsewhere.  The first call
// to Get() on a thread will return NULL.  You can update the pointer with a
// call to Set().
//
// ThreadLocalBoolean wraps a bool.  It will default to false if it has never
// been set otherwise with Set().
//
// Thread Safety:  An instance of ThreadLocalStorage is completely thread safe
// once it has been created.  If you want to dynamically create an instance,
// you must of course properly deal with safety and race conditions.  This
// means a function-level static initializer is generally inappropiate.
//
// In Android, the system TLS is limited, the implementation is backed with
// ThreadLocalStorage.
//
// Example usage:
//   // My class is logically attached to a single thread.  We cache a pointer
//   // on the thread it was created on, so we can implement current().
//   MyClass::MyClass() {
//     DCHECK(Singleton<ThreadLocalPointer<MyClass> >::get()->Get() == NULL);
//     Singleton<ThreadLocalPointer<MyClass> >::get()->Set(this);
//   }
//
//   MyClass::~MyClass() {
//     DCHECK(Singleton<ThreadLocalPointer<MyClass> >::get()->Get() != NULL);
//     Singleton<ThreadLocalPointer<MyClass> >::get()->Set(NULL);
//   }
//
//   // Return the current MyClass associated with the calling thread, can be
//   // NULL if there isn't a MyClass associated.
//   MyClass* MyClass::current() {
//     return Singleton<ThreadLocalPointer<MyClass> >::get()->Get();
//   }
